It's not a Texas thing,basically it's a know it all thing.
Did you notice him blast me when I said I'm installing an IRS in my 67Mustang.Did you also catch he said my halfshafts wont handel the power my engine will put out.He said all this without knowning what type of axels I'll be using.It really comes down to this,a know it all thing.
He might be schooled on late model Mustangs but I'm under the impression he knows very little about body work and less about the quailty of UP builds.It's a documented fact that even the very early elanors had issues with body cracking.Pull up "fix Eleanor" and read about it yourself.
And your wrong again,the news clips that you refer to CLEARLY says 13 gallons of puddy,not 8. I quouted 8 gallons of puddy as a direct quote from someone from North Carolina whos on a Mustang board that I ferquent.As a matter of fact the car he bought looked ok at the beginning.After trailering his car home chunks of filler were falling off the body. Another guy bought one in the very early stages of the build.His had no filler,he was lucky.But it had other quailty issues.
Other people who have bought cars from the auction also report similar issues.One guy in particular bought the SS version (supersnake which was 1 of 75) only to find panels welded and over lapping each other with yes,8 gallons of puddy to cover it up.So perhaps in your mind there was no quality issues.
He also doesn't beleive Texas state prioners were building these car.I can only assume that the prioners that were inteview about the builds were imposters.It's very easy to find this out by a Goggle search.Try it.None of this information that I cited in prior posts came from any new source other than the prioner thing.All the information I provided was directly from people who bought a UP auction car and discovered the quailty of the build once the car got home.
BTW,I only came on this board about a week ago to get some info on HOK paint that i'll be using on my car.Those good people that responed to my questions were very nice,polite and helpful.
So in essence,I'm out.
